7. Johnny Depp – Hats
Think of Depp’s most iconic roles: Captain Jack Sparrow, the Mad Hatter, and Willy Wonka. Now think of some of his other recent movies, like Public Enemies, The Rum Diary or The Lone Ranger. Now, just for fun, think of some of his older films, such as Platoon, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Dead Man, or Benny and Joon. What do all these roles and movies have in common?
Depp wears a hat in every single one.
It might seem like something that lies outside of Depp’s control. However, each of his most high-profile roles feature a hat by implication – pirates wear hats, that’s obvious, Gene Wilder’s original Wonka wore a hat, and the Mad Hatter… well that one should go without saying – so maybe it’s not entirely crazy to think that Depp is at least partly behind this.
The exact reason behind the actor’s fixation on headgear isn’t clear – after all, he has a healthy head of flowing hair, so surely it’s not insecurity – but it’s extensive, and frankly, a little hilarious.
